Navigating the deluge of e-newsletters and online articles about transportation and logistics can be tough. Listening to podcasts is a comparable alternative. Accessible almost anywhere – just listen on your phone or Bluetooth radio – podcasts are popular among transportation professionals who are constantly on the move.
Leading logistics magazines, supply chain research groups, and independent producers are successfully publishing quality podcasts to share current news and talk with industry experts about hot trends and best practices for today’s supply chain marketplace.
We anticipate podcasts to grow as a preferred news source for the supply chain industry. With many logistics professionals constantly in motion, audio is a realistic and easy platform for content consumption.
Here are our top seven supply chain podcasts:
